I appreciate our friends over at @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social taking some time to talk to Ashley and myself about our pathways to this work and how we've grown into it. I've learned so much in my time at WE ACT and I am a better scientist and advocate for it.
We sat down with Manuel Salgado, Federal Research Manager, and Ashley Sullivan, Senior Communications Manager – Federal Policy at @weact4ej.bsky.social, to learn more about their work at the intersection of environmental justice and climate science, and their partnership with YPCCC.
